Support Empower Yolo's ASSETs Program!

Together, We Empower: Opportunity. Growth. Resilience.

Every afternoon, students walk through the doors of our ASSETs afterschool program seeking more than just a place to be—they’re looking for connection, guidance, and a path to a brighter future. At Empower Yolo, we believe all youth deserve access to safe spaces, academic support, and opportunities that inspire confidence and independence.

This Big Day of Giving, your gift will go TRIPLE the distance! Every $1 you donate will be matched with $2—up to the first $50,000—thanks to the incredible generosity of the Starkweather Family and Empower Yolo’s Board of Directors.

Your support helps students thrive by funding:

• Academic Support & Enrichment – Tutoring, literacy and STEM activities, helping students build stronger foundations for success.

• Safe Spaces After School – A welcoming, supportive environment where students can learn, grow, and build positive relationships.

• College and Career Readiness – Workshops, mentorship, and real-world skills to prepare students for life beyond high school.

• Access to Healthy Meals – Nutritious snacks and meals that fuel students’ bodies and minds for learning and engagement.

• Life Skills Development – Financial literacy, job readiness, leadership training, and essential skills to navigate adulthood with confidence.

And your impact reaches beyond city limits. Thanks to your support, rural youth in Knights Landing—who often face even greater barriers—have access to safe, enriching and equitable programming where they can learn, grow, and feel a true sense of belonging.

Your generosity fuels futures. It helps us build a stronger, safer, and more resilient community—starting with our youth.
